Remarks

Caution

Data sources are stored on disk as a file or in the registry. Storing passwords in clear text or using an encrypted password
is a significant security risk. It is not recommended if there is any sensitive data stored in the database. When you enter
a password into a data source, it can be stored in an encrypted form to provide slightly more security than storing it in
clear text.

On Unix, this information is stored in the system information file (named .odbc.ini by default).
